A fun read, though I feel it was the weakest of the series. While we got a lot of great backstory and character development among the aunties, I feel like we learned next to nothing new about Meddy. And why did we not get more Nathan?? I'm glad that I saw this series out to the end, and would still recommend the entire thing, but the first book was definitely far and away my favorite and could have been a stand alone. One of my biggest complaints in this book was the entire
pregnancy storyline thrown in at the end. I feel like it came out of nowhere and didn't do anything to move the plot forward, other than to let us know that the aunties will be doting on a grandchild post-series.
The four aunties are certainly gems and some of my favorite fictional characters!
